Acclaimed filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has finally addressed the persistent scrutiny surrounding his controversial statements about female actors and the long-running rumors concerning his alleged romantic involvement with actress Urmila Matondkar during a recent interview.
💬 RGV’s Stance on the Rumors
🎬 A Versatile Collaboration
Ram Gopal Varma and Urmila Matondkar collaborated on several successful films in the 90s and early 2000s, including ‘Rangeela,’ ‘Daud,’ ‘Satya,’ and ‘Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya.’ It was this close professional association that fueled years of speculation regarding a personal relationship between the two.
Addressing these rumors in the TV interview, Ram Gopal Varma stated:
“I believe Urmila is the most versatile actress, which is why I did so many films with her.”
⚖️ Criticizing Double Standards
Varma criticized the double standards employed by the media and social media in amplifying gossip. He pointed out that he also collaborated extensively with actor Amitabh Bachchan, but “nobody talks about that.” He suggested that the mechanism of the system and social media is to highly exaggerate minor details and spread them widely.
🎥 Future Projects
The filmmaker is currently busy preparing for his new film, ‘Bhoot in a Police Station,’ which will star actor Manoj Bajpayee, marking their reunion after nearly 27 years. The film is unique in that it will be entirely shot inside a police station, promising a distinctive blend of horror and suspense. Varma’s comments attempt to shift the focus back to his professional body of work rather than his personal life.
